it’s because with credit cards they can check the credit limit, then be sure that the card can pay the insurance deductible in case of crash

instead with debit i can rent a car, close or deativate the card, crash/total the rental car and then avoid paying any extra fee

most rentals don’t rent with debit cards because they want to be sure, and who accepts debit:

1. they preauthorize thousands of dollars instead of hundreds
2. they only rent the lowest end of the available cars

in this case, hertz doesn’t rent to who doesn’t have a credit card

debit = no rent

I have that exact Aiwa music player.

Last Sunday when I went back to my parents house, I noticed that the clock was blinking because there was a blackout, so I turned on and I saw that the 5 CD changer not only gets stuck but the laser doesn’t see the discs anymore 😢

I’m sad

Usually asking to LLM works like this:

“I want to do this and I think it’s a good idea, what do you think?”

✅ Perfect, it’s a fantastic idea and you need to do that ASAP (add three paragraphs of slop about why it’s the best thing ever)

“Someone told me I should do that but I’m not sure, what do you think?”

❌ Absolutely no! They have hidden reasons to push you like that (add three paragraphs of slop about why you shouldn’t trust that person and how to cut them from your life)

In the 90s, in my country, a single person made a webpage stating that Microsoft minesweeper promotes war and violence, so since windows 95 if the Windows locale is set to my language, minesweeper becomes “flower field” and you have to find flowers instead of mines

Wtf is that list, the white pages? So many numbers

I have the opinion that the asshole who chose the images, intentionally chose 6 even if it’s “unrelated” because it has a X and at a first glance people might click it thinking it’s a button to close the ad

And they cropped the finger to make it look an erect penis, to get clicks

Why are you using a Lemmy client with ads?

Take this, it’s open source and platform agnostic https://getvoyager.app/

South Park already showed Saddam Hussein’s penis in all its glory.

Think about it:

• Saddam? Exposed.
• Trump? Censored.

This is TOTAL DISCRIMINATION

The point is FAIRNESS. If one guy’s junk gets airtime, then THE DONALD’S deserves a prime-time show!

This isn’t just TV—it’s about AMERICAN VALUES.

Protecting our users’ privacy and data is our highest priority. We are taking every necessary step to ensure the security of our platform

Since sensitive data was put on a public bucket, maybe they meant it was their lowest priority?

why did he give Ukraine a bunch of Starlink receivers

Because those receivers were “free” for the Ukrainians but someone else paid millions for that

Imagine paying $500/month for each “free” receiver because “military applications needs maximum quality” but when the vatnik CEO gets a call from its owner "oh no today it glitched!”

It depends, maybe they like the contents of some instances like this one

Although on some blocks I can’t disagree:

It’s what pisses me off the most using Debian.

Set a active directory server with samba on Debian and one day windows 11 machines couldn’t login anymore.

After hours of troubleshooting:

ah yes this samba issue was fixed 3 years ago but you didn’t get it because you’re “stable”

“suspend” is Microsoft corpo speak to say “turn off the screen and fans and use 100% of the CPU to install updates, user expects to have its battery depleted when he comes back”

They’re not gay! They just happen to have SSA (Same sex attraction)

I fucking hate autotranslated titles!

I only watch YouTube videos in English but my native language is different. All the fucking videos have fucking ai translated titles that don’t even make sense . And all the jokes are lost

And the automatic dubs sound horrible. People actually listen to those?

Now even ads for booking.com use the horrible ai voices. It’s a 10 seconds ad and their revenue for 2024 was 24 fucking BILLIONS. CAN YOU GO TO FIVERR TO HIRE A NATIVE SPEAKER FOR $5 AND NOT RAPE MY EARS???

Wake up baby, deepseek today is uncensored

He gets the papers already ready to sign, I can’t imagine him writing bills.

At most he can choose the name of the bill, as shown by the latest one, it’s so obvious that even stupid algorithms can guess it

No he means only to who donated at least $1 mil to his inauguration

Regular people will still be fucked if they torrent a single ebook
